Toyota's Portable Hydrogen Cartridges Could Make Owning An FCEV A Lot Easier
Briefly

Instead of waiting in line to top up your hydrogen-powered Mirai, wouldn't it be nice if you could just change out the hydrogen tanks at home the same way you would change the depleted batteries in an alarm clock? That's exactly the idea behind Toyota's new portable hydrogen cartridges.
The cartridges are much smaller and lighter than what's currently available in production FCEVs—about as big as a big camping backpack—and the idea is you could just swap them out when they're empty, like propane tanks.
In theory, they could power anything from camp stoves to an entire house, seeing how hydrogen can be used either as a combustible fuel or an energy source for fuel cells like the ones in Toyota's own Mirai or Hyundai's Nexo.
Toyota said the cartridges are designed "to make hydrogen a familiar and safe energy source that can be used in a variety of applications, creating new possibilities for consumers."
